His enthusiasm is evident in his years of active participation in organizations including the San Jose Leadership Council and the Martinson Child Development Center. Additionally, he has been elected, appointed and recognized for his leadership roles in such groups as the Y Adventure Guides and the San Francisco Bay Area Wharton Alumni Association.

Jordan, his wife Joanne, and their two sons, Joseph and Jonathan, reside in Saratoga, California. Each year they go to great lengths to plan an enjoyable and educational vacation for their family.

We take time to get to know you, understand your desires and gain insight into your short-term needs and long-term goals. The relationship often transcends professional services, with a primary focus on life’s broader issues. Before accounts are opened or investments analyzed, we set time aside to determine your objectives and your risk tolerance.

Once we fully comprehend your overall financial standing, we thoroughly review all existing holdings utilizing the latest software programs, economic and market data and allocation models available to create a portfolio specifically designed to help you meet your objectives. We then discuss this proposal with you and any advisors you wish, providing a complete understanding of its financial ramifications. If you agree with our recommendations, the plan is implemented and continuously monitored.

While discussing potential returns, we believe that it is equally important to quantify commensurate risks. Our comprehensive plan illustrates both performance and the volatility associated with those returns. Whether we employ institutional portfolio managers for particular asset classes or design a customized portfolio identifying various securities, we take to heart our responsibility to track ongoing performance and suggest changes as market conditions dictate.

We are able to offer a full complement of services to help you manage your way to a better financial future.
